All Things Green

For the last few months I have been back on my green smoothie kick. I have been having one for breakfast almost every day. I have it down to a science now. I started adding the chia seeds and the nut butter for some protein and staying power.

Here is my general recipe:

Fill blender a little more than halfway with greens (spinach, kale, chard, or even a salad mix)

1 banana

2 tbsp of nut butter

a sprinkle of chia seeds

1-2 cups frozen fruit

1 cup almond milk

1 cup water

Makes 2 servings

I also wanted to show a few shots of the garden so far. Here is some lettuce that my husband planted.

Broccoli and brussel sprouts, which REALLY need to be weeded.

Some basil sprouting up.

A little bit of cilantro too.

Just to add a little bit of color. Here is some wild columbine.

I took all of these shots yesterday so as you can tell everything survived all the rain. I can't believe that nothing was washed away.
